Anyone know if the Fanbase app caters for this - I buy both, but send one to his phone? Easiest way is to buy two on your APP and send them the QR code or pay the £5 and send them the card.

I certainly did and was happy to pay the extra. Yes, same here. You have to specifically opt out to save the £5 by not taking a physical card. I was happy to accept paying the extra £5. I tend to regard the physical card as a belt and braces fallback. If there is some sort of WiFi/IT meltdown affecting my phone, my card will still get me in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Towers Posted June 7, 2024 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2024 Just renewed mine and it was an easy, painless process - hopefully like next season! Good to see from the club's facebook page that 500 had been sold and that was a couple of hours ago! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted June 8, 2024 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2024 Whilst the office is closed over the weekend you can still renew or purcahse a season ticket online: https://ptfc.co.uk/season-tickets/ Just to add that for the last 2 seasons I was doing a count of how many had been sold weekly but I won't be doing it this season as it is not as straight forward with the new platform to do that (I know you are all disappointed). Hopefully the club will be proactive on all the different channels in promoting them and will give updates when certain totals are hit. We got to 500 yesterday afternoon so lets hope the 1000 sold announcement follows soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted June 8, 2024 Report Share Posted June 8, 2024 Very easy to renew and it’s great having the ticket in wallet now. Klarna pay in 3 is a great option too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted June 8, 2024 Report Share Posted June 8, 2024 Renewed mine. Easy to do. Don't forget Players Fund if you want to top up Doolans player budget. https://ptfc.co.uk/fans/players-fund/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if buying over the phone electronic tickets are sent to your Fanbase wallet even if you don’t have one. PTFC assumes that you will set up a Fanbase account with the same email address they have on file. That’s what’s happened to us. My nephew bought the disabled and carer tickets(he doesn’t have/want a Fanbase account), but both electronic tickets have been sent to his wallet. Tricky one to sort.

Well you cannot renew on the APP if you don't have an account for the APP. Sounds like a call to the club is in order?

There have been other points about buying for other people raised etc that should be in the instructions, rather than leaving it for people to try to work out. PTFC/Fanbase should fix these before it puts folk off. For most people the process will be simple but systems should be designed/written for the most complicated. By the way, this happens in all kinds of situations-not just this ticketing thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.D Posted June 9, 2024 Report Share Posted June 9, 2024 I've signed up for Season Ticket and printed it off Ok. I've also got Fanbase App on my Android Phone but don't see my Ticket Bar Code mentioned on it. Will it be put on for individual matches?

No it should be there now and as others say place it in Google Wallet which makes it even easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephew bought the tickets by phone(not got Fanbase, doesn’t want it), but both tickets sent to his Fanbase wallet. I have got Fanbase and even although I got an email from them saying I should have my ticket in my wallet - it not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
